Even worse then

With Djiga being 21 and a relative baby for a CB there may be a time.when he comes good after a good loan or two. It remains a bad signing for the time though at the price and what we thought we needed.

Yeah should have been Cunha but not surprised he hasn't won it.

All that and we definitely need more than 2 inside forward/10s as I can't see any of Cunha, Sarabia, Guedes or Hwang being at the club.

I think with Mosquera, Agbadou and Toti at the back, J.Gomes and Andre and midfield and a really good number 9 in Strand Larsen we have a good spine to build around but the rest does need fleshing out with quality and obviously you live and die by that recruitment. There are concerns but I am...

The reason they don't buy direct from Belgium is because it's a huge risk with the step up in that level. Id never heard of Munoz before Palace signed him because it's not a well covered league and ultimately I think we just disagree on what the term hidden gem pertains to.

If he wasn't hidden then bigger clubs would have snapped him up at such a low price point.

Yeah I was responding to "he was hardly a hidden gem." It's not impossible, I just said it's harder than a lot of people think it's going to be. I always watch the wing backs when they receive the ball and both RAN and Semedo's touch and work in tight spaces is top tier and gets us out of some...

He was a hidden gem despite his age as he was playing for Genk and he was signed for 8m. It's worked out brilliantly for Palace but nobody knew he was that good.

Wasn't expecting a particularly joined up performance given the changes but that was poor. Apart from the goal and Guedes pot shot at the end we've given them nothing to think about and that's Palace without Guehi, Wharton, Eze and Mateta. Hopefully it hammers home the point that we need to...

You won't find a player as good as that. He's potentially the best right back in the entire league. Replacing Semedo is going to be a lot harder than most think.

It's been a very very poor 25 mins for Rodrigo Gomes

Don't mind the team. Wanted to have a look.at Djiga and R.Gomes. Semedo and Cunha will play what's looking like their last games on Sunday where we will most likely be back to full strength. Would rather have not seen Guedes.

Yeah it was just before he was sacked, one of the first changes Vitor made was to swap Doherty and Semedo, worked much better ever since. Do not want to see that get reverted.
